GRAND SPECIAL sTAKE

First heat-When the horses appeared on
the track for the first heat in this great race
the applause was loud and long, but it was
conceded by almost everyone that, barring
some accident, Patron would win the heat.
The horses got away in good shape, Astral
quickly taking the pole, but at the quarter
ha had lost his position, Patron having
passed him and taken the lead, which he in
creased by about two sulky lengths on the
half, where Prince Wilkes passed Astral and
took second place. On the stretch the race
was for second place between Prince Wilkes
and Astral, Patron having it all his own way
and passing under the wire easily nearly
three sulky lengths ahead. Prince Wilkes
went under the wire second, with Astral
third. At the start the horses were awarded
the following positions: Loretta F. had the
pole, Patron second, Dan third Astral
fourth, Prince Wilkes fifth, with Myrtle on
the outside.
Second heat-Patron also had this heat
all his own way, and at the quarter was
leading Astral, the second horse, by o sulky
length, which had kept all the way around
the track, winning by about two lengths
On the back stretch Prince Wilkes drew up
on Astral and passed him, coming under the
wire second, with Astral a sulky length be.

Third heat-Patron took the lead in this
heat, and at the quarter was sulky length
ahead of Astral, who was trotting second
with Prince Wilkes, who broke at the start,
away in the rear. On tie half Patron
began to leave the other horses, while
Prince Wilkes drew up into sec
ond place. Patron continued to
increase his lead and went
under the wire fully twenty lengths ahead of
Prince Wilkes, who finished second, while
Dan was shut out entirely. This gave Pa
iron the race in three straight heats, and as
he finished he was loudly applauded by the
spectators, and John Murphy, jr., son of the
sulky seat as the horse was slowly led to his
stable after winning $4,000, the first prize,
and also the most important event of the
meet. George Fuller, his driver, also came
in for good share of the praise and his arm
was lame long before his friends got through
shaking hands with him.

A Popular Young Man Lying Wounded
in the Residence of His Mistress.
NASHVILLE, May 15.-J. B. Hotchkiss, a
young man about 80 years of age and the
head of a wholesale hardware firm here,
was badly wounded last night i'll a diff
Guilty next door to the house of his mis-
tress. He and the owner of the premises
upon which he had entered to get bucket
of water had warm words. which led to a
resort to pistols. Five shots were ex-
changed at short range. Hotchkiss was
shot in the side and bullet perforated bis
hat. The other man, Wilhelm, was not
struck. The wounded man walked to the
room of his mistress. who lives in the suburbs
of the city in strict retirement and two
physicians were summoned. Every effort
was made to cover his identity. he even 60
ing SO far as to beg to be moved out OF the
city in his precarious condition. The news
created considerable excitement. Hotch-
kiss is handsome, wealthy ami popular
man, and strong in financial circles as we'll
as in society, where he is leader in fash
ionable circles. He was engaged to a beau
tiful young lady, a member of one of the
proudest families in the State. His condi-
ton is such that he cannot be removed to
his residence, and he now lies at the home
of his mistress.

PRIVATE LAND OWNERSHIP.
Archbishop Corrigan Exposes Some OF
the Fallacies ON that Question.

Archbishop Corrigan Exposes some of
the Fallacies ON that Question.
New YORK, May 6.-Archbishop Corri-
gan made his canonical visitation to the
church of the Sacred Heart this morning.
Low mass was celebrat d. at the conclusion
OF which the archbishop spoke ON popular
errors prevalent at the present time. The
first OF those was the idea that private
land ownership was unjust. This idea
Archbishop Corrigan characterized as q
fallacy against both philosophy and COM
mon sense, and as against the teachings of
the Catholic church. Those who claimed
that land, like sunshine ard air
WAS FREE GIFT OF GOD,
and equally the property of all, overlooked
the great difference that the sun and air
cannot become private property as can
land. He declared that man had right
to require by honest means as much
property as he coul |, and cited the Indians
as an example of the disastrous results of
a free land policy" The archbishop also
said the idea was in direct opposition to
favored it knew that they were infringing
on the ordinances of God
The second error which the Archbishop
wished to combat was that the Pope had
a right to command and be obeyed only
in matters of faiths and morals. This
idea had been decreed false by the Vatican
council, who had ordered that "if any one
should say that the Pope had the right to
command in matter of faith and morals,
but not discipline, let him be anathema-
tized." The Pope, however, does not in
terfere in matters OF politics unless govern
ments interfere in matters of conscience,
and he has warned all Bishops that they
must be obedient to the government under
which they live.

What tho Pope Says Concerning the
Erection of One.
New YORK, May 16.-The Times says:
The Pope, in brief to Cardinal Gibbons,
has approved of some OF the plans for the
proposed Catholic National University.
He coineices with the American Bishops in
believing that the administration OF a
university should remain forever in the
hands of prelates. The. question of To-
cation, however. he leaves of, and desires
the opinion of every Bishop in the country
as well as those on the Commission before
anything is fixed. The Commission has
made several other recommendations. It
suggests that the professorships of sacred
science be open to secular and regular
priests, even if foreigners, to preserve the
discipline as well as to impart a profound
scientific and theological training. The
Sulphican priests are considered the most
fit for the minute government OF this in
stitution to prevent the detraction Of at
tention from work and the converting OF
contributions to other channels. It is ad
vised that until the next
PLENARY COUNCIL,
the setting up of any similar institution

sity must be able to devote his time to it,
and yet be of Episcopal dignity. The
Commission therefore urge that the Right
Rev. John ]. Keane, of Richmond, be re-
lieved from the cares of his diocese and
made the Rector of the University. Fl
nally it is declared that there is no inten-
ton to weaken the American College at
Rome, but bishops. on the contrary, will
take care that number of choice subjects
are always sent to be trained at the foun-
tain head of Christianity. The members
of the Commission are Cardinal Gibbons,
OF Baltimore; Archbishop Williams, OF
Boston; Archbishop Corrigan and Arch
bishop Ryan, of Philadelphia; Bishop
spaulding, OF Peoria; Bishop Oakland, Of
St. Paul; Bishop Keane, OF Richmond
Bishop Marty, Dakota; Monsignor Farley
OF this city. Rev. John Foley, Of Balti-
more; and Messrs. H. L. Chappell and 8.
Lee Washington, and Mich ael jenkins and
Thomas E. Waggaman, laymen.

THE UNIVERSITY CLUB.
Steps Taken to Organize One in Butte
The Membership-Bene1lts to be De.
rived From Such Society.

A meeting was held in this city
yesterday afternoon to organize a
university club. There were present
graduates OF Harvard, Yale. Balliol
College, Oxford, the College of the City
OF New York. New York University, the In
stitute OF Technology, the University o,
California, Washington University, Ottawa
College, Monmouth College and McKendree
College. The project originated only q few
days ago in casual suggestion Of one oi
the gentlemen present yesterday afternoon.
and the result is pleasant revelation to
themselves and must be q source of pride
to Butte. There is every prospect of the club
attaining membership of forty or fifty a.
soon as it gets to work, and then there will
belong to it graduates from nearly all the
centers of learning il this country and
several from European colleges. The im-
mense benefit to be derived BY the
members themselves from so many repre-
sentatives OF different schools of thought
being brought together can easily be
imagined. but the good resulting will not be
confined to them. It will be felt in this
community by the breadth of idea it will
terchange of thought which is the outcome
of properly directed club effort is certain to
produce a higher intellectual standard
among the members, and this cannot fail
OF reflex action on the community in
which they move and associate. In union
is strength is true of intellectual effort as
well as political or any other cooperation.
The gentlemen who met yesterday after
noon are highly encouraged by the prospect
befoye them and feel certain that no step
which has ever been taken by Butte will be
of more benefi. to the city than this. To
have it known in the East
that there is q university club of
nearly half a hundred members from colleges
all over Christendom will be revelation
to thousands, and make the city known
and news from here eagerly sought in CEN
ters Of thought, which will now for the first
time hear of this city OF infinite material
resources. The auri sacra flames that has
hitherto onsumed all energies here will in
future be tempered by an intellectual
growth which, while by no means lessening
the activity and enterprise that have de-
veloped Butte's mineral resources, will in
troduce new element of culture here that
it i. hoped will grow with that vigor which
has characterized similar efforts elsewhere.
The officers elected yesterday are: Presi-
dent. W: q. Baldwin, Jr., Harvard, 's6;
Vice-President. A. e. N"will. Oxford, Eng:
Secretary, E. McAndrew, College City Of
New York; Treasurer, J. Lansing, New York

Reads Like q Romance, but its Disposi-
ton Severely Practical
OLoNDoN, May 16.-The Financial Secre-
tary of India advised the Government OF
the discovery of an immense amount OF
treasure, estimated at over $25, 900 900,
which has been secreted in the Palace
Graliore, by the late Mahajarah. The
treasure has been sunk in pits under
vaults, beneath the Zeenana. The secret
was entrusted to a few confidential ser.
wants. The Secretary was present when
the treasure was unearthed. After re-
moving the earth to the depth Of six feet
the workmen revealed great flagstones.
Beneath these, several pits were filled
BRIMFULL WITH SILVER,
chiefly freshly coined rupees. In each
pile was plate recording the amount OF
treasure and the names OF officials who
assisted in secretipg it. The Indian Gov.
ernment has taken the hoard as a loan
from the young Maharajah. The native pa
pers protest against this action. They
say, had the Maharajah been an adult, in
stead under regency controlled by the
government, he would never have invested
his whole wealth in Indian securities. The
question will be raised as to whether the
Investment" be not another name for p
seizure.
